  • Areas 1- Ern Africa
    Kroeber Anthropological Society Papers, Nos. 71-72, 1990 Diet, Species Diversity and Distribution of African Fossil Baboons Brenda R. Benefit and Monte L. McCrossin Based on measurements ofmolarfeatures shown to befunctionally correlated with the proportions of fruits and leaves in the diets ofextant monkeys, Plio-Pleistocenepapionin baboonsfrom southern Africa are shown to have included more herbaceous resources in their diets and to have exploited more open country habitats than did the highlyfrugivorousforest dwelling eastern African species. The diets ofall species offossil Theropithecus are reconstructed to have included morefruits than the diets ofextant Theropithecus gelada. Theropithecus brumpti, T. quadratirostris and T. darti have greater capacitiesfor shearing, thinner enamel and less emphases on the transverse component ofmastication than T. oswaldi, and are therefore interpreted to have consumed leaves rather than grass. Since these species are more ancient than the grass-eating, more open country dwelling T. oswaldi, the origin ofthe genus Thero- pithecus is attributed tofolivorous adaptations by largepapionins inforest environments rather than to savannah adapted grass-eaters. Reconstructions ofdiet and habitat are used to explain differences in the relative abundance and diversity offossil baboons in eastern andsouthern Africa. INTRODUCTION abundance between eastern and southern Africa is observed for members of the Papionina (Papio, Interpretations of the dietary habits of fossil Cercocebus, Parapapio, Gorgopithecus, and Old World monkeys have been based largely on Dinopithecus).

The mtDNA COII sequences are used to estimate divergence dates within the papionins.

These data were used to determine the relative proportions of C3 and C4 biomass consumed by extinct baboons and contemporary non-human primates. We compared these results with data on modern Papio hamadryas ursinus from different savanna areas in South Africa, as well as with published isotopic data and dietary interpretations based on molar morphology of these taxa.

PALEOECOLOGICAL RECONSTRUCTIONS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN PLIO- PLEISTOCENE BASED ON LOW-MAGNIFICATION DENTAL MICROWEAR OF FOSSIL PRIMATES. by BRIAN CARTER Under the Direction of Frank L’Engle Williams ABSTRACT Cercopithecines are common in hominid producing deposits and are a useful proxy for determining the ecological context of the early hominids. For this study, dental microwear is examined through low-magnification stereomicroscopy and used to reconstruct the diets of sampled primates. Those from the earliest sites, predominantly Parapapio, are primarily frugivorous while the incidence of gramnivory increases in the later Dinopithecus, Gorgopithecus, and Papio individuals denoting a general cooling and drying trend over the South African Plio-Pleistocene with a distinct pulse between 1.9-1.8 million years ago (mya). Australopithecus is reconstructed as a primary gramnivore which indicates that hominids adapted early in their evolution to expanding grasslands.

  • Taxonomy of the Sterkfontein Fossil Cercopithecinae: the Papionini of Members 2 and 4 (Gauteng, South Africa)
    TAXONOMY OF THE STERKFONTEIN FOSSIL CERCOPITHECINAE: THE PAPIONINI OF MEMBERS 2 AND 4 (GAUTENG, SOUTH AFRICA) Jason L. Heaton Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology, Indiana University November 2006 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

Heaton ALL RIGHTS RESERVED To my wife, Alison “Wheresoever she was; there was Eden.” Mark Twain (1904) – The Diaries of Adam and Eve ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This analysis originated on a trip to South Africa in 2000 and evolved into what you see before you. Along the way, its path was modified and forever altered by those individuals with whom I came into contact. Without those interactions, I must say this analysis would not be what it is today. First and foremost, I thank my committee, Travis Pickering, Kevin Hunt, Nick Toth and Kathy Schick. I was fortunate to have a group of individuals that truly provided the materials that I needed to succeed. Nick and Kathy are the reason that I went to Indiana to study paleoanthropology. I am grateful to Nick for writing a letter of recommendation for grad school, which undoubtedly facilitated my entrance into IU’s program. I enjoyed the many seminars that I took with Nick, Kathy and Kevin which shaped much of the way I view the prehistoric world, today.
